Air Fryer Churro Donuts

Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside - these air fryer churros are a cinnamon-y donut-y hybrid treat that take only minutes to prepare, cook and enjoy!

1. Combine flour and yoghurt in a bowl until dough is formed
2. Roll into small balls, coat with melted butter and lay on air fryer tray
3. Air fry for 5 minutes
4. Lightly toss in a little more butter and roll in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar

Air Fryer Blueberry Muffins

These blueberry muffins are a healthier air fryer dessert. Sweetened with bananas and honey and using rolled oats instead of flour, this delicious recipe also packs a protein punch thanks to its eggs and Greek yoghurt!

1. Add bananas, oats, eggs, Greek yoghurt, honey, vanilla essence and baking powder to a blender and whizz up to create a smooth batter
2. Fill silicone patty pans with the mixture and add blueberries
3. Air fry for 12 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius
4. Let the muffins cool before serving

Air Fryer Cheesecake

What's not to love about creamy cheesecake? This air fryer cake recipe is so delectably simple that you'll definitely be going back for seconds (and thirds, and fourths!) - not to mention it's cooked in less than half the time of an oven-baked cheesecake.

1. Combine crushed biscuits with melted butter
2. Line a cake tin with baking paper and press the crumb mixture firmly into the base
3. In a large bowl stir cream cheese until smooth
4. Pop in eggs, condensed milk and a dash of vanilla extract then mix for a few minutes to achieve a creamy batter
5. Fill the cake tin and place inside your air fryer (there is no need to preheat)
6. Cook in the air fryer for 20-22 minutes at 150 degrees Celsius
7. Once cooked resist the urge to dig in right away - cheesecakes are best served after resting for an hour then chilling in the fridge for at least four hours, or ideally overnight
8. Top with your favourite fruits (we love sliced fresh strawberries and passionfruit pulp)

Air Fryer Banana Pancake Dippers

These yummy banana pancake dippers are a quick and quirky way to snack using only one hand (leaving the other conveniently free to use the tv remote)!

1. Combine flour, baking powder, brown sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl
2. In another bowl, add vanilla, milk, sour cream and an egg at a time, whisking together
3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined
4. Dip each banana in the batter and lay on baking paper in the air fryer tray
5. Air fry for 16 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius
6. Serve with a helping of melted chocolate for dipping
